Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 24, 2013 Awards Moderator Posted September 24, 2013 Preserved for posterity in the Facebook thread though. Sorry ultimo, I have no mercy for people who fall for that one, especially considering how regularly it makes the rounds. Quote
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 24, 2013 Awards Moderator Posted September 24, 2013 You're not the first, nor will you be the last! In movie news-related-news, just spotted in the new issue of Empire that Mrs Brown's Boys is becoming a film, called Mrs Brown's D'Movie. So people will be pleased about that one. Quote
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted September 24, 2013 Paid Members Posted September 24, 2013 Jim Carrey looks ancient. I love Dumb and Dumber but the fact that they're bragging about how gross it will be makes me fear for the worst. Quote
Paid Members Rob Lowe Posted September 25, 2013 Paid Members Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) I love Dumb and Dumber too. But I think it'll be a miracle if this film is even half decent, nevermind good. The Farrelly's have released passable to absolute dogshit films for over a decade. The Uncut version of Dumb and Dumber is bad too, highlighting how less is more and someone needs to edit them. I'm legit scared about it. I'll definitely wait for reviews. Edit - Another picture where Carrey looks less ancient. Edited September 25, 2013 by Rob Lowe Quote
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 25, 2013 Paid Members Posted September 25, 2013 Carrey needs some sort of "big hit" soon or it'll be "straight to DVD!" with him. Quote
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted September 25, 2013 Moderators Posted September 25, 2013 I love Dumb and Dumber too. But I think it'll be a miracle if this film is even half decent, nevermind good. The Farrelly's have released passable to absolute dogshit films for over a decade. The Uncut version of Dumb and Dumber is bad too, highlighting how less is more and someone needs to edit them. Peter Farrelly was on the Nerdist podcast a while back, and talked about how they literally had zero experience when shooting Dumb and Dumber, and outright said to the crew they'd have to help them out on everything because they just didn't know what they were doing. They were -- at that point, unproduced -- writers who somehow blagged their way into directing. There's a lot of interesting stuff on that show about the development of Dumb and Dumber, and how Carrey exploded so huge after Ace Ventura (which came out during D&D's pre-production) that his agent called up with increasingly high wage demands every week, as Ace Ventura was breaking box office records weekly. Carrey ended up getting $7m, which was almost half the budget, while Jeff Daniels worked for SAG minimum ie fuck all (and a percentage of the box office). It's here if anyone's interested: http://www.nerdist.com/2013/01/nerdist-pod...peter-farrelly/ Quote
King Pitcos Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Has Jim Carrey done a good film? I'm sure there was at least one, but I can only think of utter shit he's been in. Definitely his heyday films were all atrocious. The best thing I can think with him in is Kick-Ass 2, and that's not saying much. Edit: Eternal Sunshine was the one I was forgetting. I think I liked The Truman Show as well. Edited September 25, 2013 by King Pitcos Quote
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted September 25, 2013 Paid Members Posted September 25, 2013 Truman Show and Man on the Moon are both worth a watch. Quote
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted September 25, 2013 Paid Members Posted September 25, 2013 I really liked Burt Wonderstone. I don't think Jim Carrey will go straight to DVD I think he's more likely to go down the character actor route in unexpected films. I hope so anyway because I really like him. Quote
Paid Members Rob Lowe Posted September 25, 2013 Paid Members Posted September 25, 2013 Thats awesome Astro thanks! Downloading now. Definitely his heyday films were all atrocious. Get killed! He'll never repeat the greatness of 1994. Ace Ventura, The Mask and ending the year with the masterpiece that is Dumb and Dumber! Aah... More recently 'I Love You Phillip Morris' was a very good movie that was pretty much ignored. Quote

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or haven't watched any of them since you were about ten. I watch them every few years with absolute pleasure, Dumb and Dumber is the clear winner. Considering you probably watch RAW and Smackdown every week, I find your criticisms of my taste extra insulting! Quote

Yeah, I agree... if you forget about the good films he's been in, he's only ever appeared in shite. Same with John Wayne. Quote
Paid Members Maverick Posted September 25, 2013 Paid Members Posted September 25, 2013 The Duke has been in dozens of good movies i'll have you know. Certainly more than Jim Carrey, who outside the odd performance I have always found intensely annoying. I did like his standup though. Quote
